Secondly the light source is flat and diffuse meaning it's even harder to make out what the hell is going on with the one giant leg pose. Thirdly the pose is so twisted and EXTREME!! it's just a mess. Usually i give character artists credit because even bad character art is a hard skill to master but i honestly and genuinely could do this much better. simply horrible.
I don't even like the AOE character design, and I think this art looks GREAT. Those poses are really dynamic. Maybe the one legged pose leaves space on the card so the blister doesn't cover all the art.
If you are going to make this statement, lets have proof. Show us your PUDDING.
Sure. Like i said. I don't get the opportunity to do character art that often so i actually have great respect for the skill. You can check out my (mostly non character art) over at nogunarmy.com
I also understand that clients can slowly turn the best work into dogshit with idiotic feedback until you just don't care anymore. I've had that happen to me. I wonder if that's what happened here. Some of the poses aren't that bad, but the running poses are just awful.
